Where is the cheapest place to order lead shot for reloading? Frogger 79 You may not want to hear this but look at other shot other than lead. Lead is the most toxic element outside of chemicals and mercury on the market today. Ingested lead is the #1 cause of death in Eagles and Condor's. A piece of lead ingested the size of a BB will kill an Eagle or Condor. There are other types of shot that can be used. JMO

Find a store that sells it. You may find a good price on the internet,But the shipping will cost you big time. What if you put a 25 pound bag in one of those USPS flat rate boxes? They still have those don't they?
The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never let the dumbest ones lead the pack.

I don't know how toxic lead shot is to eagles and condors, but I do know a couple of things. One is that a bird has to eat the shot before it can be toxic to it. I also know that an incredible amount of lead shot was used for hundreds of years and the population of eagles was not impacted to a discernable degree. The raptors did take a major hit from DDT and have recovered since it's use was banned. EdP Your are 100% right, the lead has to be ingested by the Eagle or Condors. DDT to a big toll on all raptors. The Peregrine Falcon really to a big hit. Remember when there was lead in paint? Kids were not eating ton's of lead, most were young and teethed on cribs etc. We have lead shot, sinkers, jigs and baits. Eagles are fish eaters but will also eat carrion. This is just one small way everyone can help out. JMO

Predators die from eating the meat of a bird that ate the lead and died from lead poisoning. Ducks especially, pick up the shot and grind in their gizzard with whatever they eat, and the fine powder/bits kill the duck. Ducks with lead ingestion problems show green anal leakage, and should be discarded.

Find someone that makes it then buy all you can afford. I got a ton or so from a guy from the local club for a 32 lb for 25 bucks. Good luck.

BigBob The raptor do not die from eating tainted meat. Example, you hunt squirrels with a 410, you shoot at a squirrel and it going in a hole, you only put a couple pellets under the skin, you did not do any harm. The next week while the squirrel is out feeding and a Redtail catch the squirrel and eat it along with the lead pellets, it will die. A eagle catch a blue gill with a jig in it mouth, the eagle will die from the lead. I seen a eagle feeding on a road killed deer two days ago. If it had been hit with a round from a rifle it could be ingested. The deer died from a car hitting it. If you could point me in the direction that support you view please let me know the site.

BigBob: I just looked up lead poisoning in Wildlife, it stated the Racoon along with opossum have die were tested for lead poisoning but had no signs of gun shot wounds. They come to the conclusion they must have eaten tainted meat that die from lead poisoning.
